No they are not. You are just admitting you have no clue how corporate balance sheets work.
Pro tip: It was you who started talking about debt to assets and got D/E and debt to assets mixed up in one sentence. I just said financing new aircraft does not have a big effect on that ratio. If you would have read my comment and understood it, you would have seen I only mentioned shareholders equity, not D/E that you came up with. Raw fact is, AAGs shareholders equity is around 9 billion in the red, where UA/DL are around 3-4 billion in black. Even the largest refleet will not drop these carriers anywhere near that number, I doubt they would even go to red.
